What is the impact of precariousness on the quality of life and human agency?

Precariousness has become a defining experience for many in contemporary society, as an inescapable condition and state of being. Living with Precariousness explores the effects and affects of precariousness through critical dialogue with the vulnerabilities and uncertainties that are evident in current social, economic and political environments worldwide.

A spectrum of timely international case studies explore precarious existences - at individual, collective and structural levels, and as manifested through space and the body. These range from the plight of asylum seekers, to the 'tiny house movement' as a response to a national housing crisis, from the global impacts of climate change, to the daily challenges of living with a chronic illness. This multidisciplinary book illustrates the pervasiveness of precarity, but furthermore shows how those entangled connections with other human and non-human agents that put us at risk are also the connections which make living with (and through) precariousness endurable.
